I hope they put him against a wrestler with good sub defence in his first Bellator fight. He's probably not ready for it but since he has such a long kickboxing career and he seems so comfortable in the cage, there isn't much reason to give him a whole lot of time to settle in. If he gets someone that right off the bat raises some questions, win or lose he will improve a lot from it.

They will feed him a few cans like they did with Andrey 'Spartan' Koreshkov and hype him for a tournament I would think. No point in letting him fight some one dimensional wrestler who will most likely Fitch him.

Throw him in stand up fights for a while says I.

I don't think he needs the hype or experience. If they give him a stand up fight, then that might get his Bellator name big, but I don't think it will help as a fighter. He's already as comfortable as possible in the stand up, so the experience that he would gain through fighting stand up fighters wouldnt be that big.
